Within quick succession, several interesting hands played out over on table one. First it was Aleem Kanji that flopped middle pair and a flush draw, then rivered two pair with the 
and claimed a bigger pot off Hak-Hyun Lee to take over the lead.
What followed was a raise to 60,000 by Fernando Pons and Lee called, as did Christos Xanthopoulos in the small blind and Derek Lawless in the big blind. The 
flop was checked to Pons and he bet 125,000, only Xanthopoulos called. The 
turn and river were checked and Xanthopoulos flashed the 
for a full house.
Last but not least, Lee raised to 75,000 and Xanthopoulos three-bet to 195,000 on the button. James Williams in the big blind four-bet to 630,000 and that won the pot without showdown, as both opponents folded.

on the turn improved the Frenchman and now it was Le that had to hope for a spade to remain in contention. The 
river was a blank and Le was eliminated in 14th place for ￡8,000.
